Putting a blue shield on "sandboxed" when allowing (write!) access to my home directory falls on the extreme side of "weak" to me.

Sure, they are capable of locking it down better. But they haven't in 2+ years. It shows where their priorities are.

Flatseal I'll have to look into though, thanks! A user-controllable method is always a plus, and I do love sandboxes. Most apps need very little access, and locking them down prevents a LOT of kinds of misbehavior, intentional or accidental.
